Baking Magic Bars or Seven Layer Bars

Magic Bars or Seven Layer Bars whichever you want to call these little squares of utter most deliciousness. They are super easy to make even a fifteen year old non cook can make them to to take to her last day of school.

Yes, my daughter volunteered to bring these magic bars to her last class of the school year, thinking I would make them for her. Uh,no. Mom will happily supervise.

Layers of graham cracker, chocolate morsels, nuts, coconut and sweetened condensed milk. That’s the ingredients along with a stick of melted butter. Magic, yes. Lots of calories, I’m sure. But hey, it’s the end of the school year.

I’ve been making these Magic Bars for years after being introduced to them by a friend. You can’t buy these anywhere pre made. They must be made from scratch. The ingredients must be layered on in the order given for a reason. Chocolate morsels must be the first layer, then nuts. Coconut tops these two layers to hold everything together. Then sweetened condensed milk glues it all into one bar.

I suppose they were originally called seven layer bars due to additional types of chips added like butterscotch. I only use chocolate though. I am a morsel purist.

oh my…..those were my favs each Christmas when mom made them….she had to hide them from me!!!! Can’t believe Emily’s last day is tomorrow…..time to plan a trip to Texas!!!! Love ya….oh and when you come bring some of the magic bars!

I just have to say that these bars are my all time favorite dessert and my mom always made them at Christmas and I make them every Christmas. Yours look so good that maybe I shouldn’t wait until the holidays to make them again. If I could reach through the screen, those magic cookie bars would go perfectly with my cup of coffee.
